child support help

The obligation to provide child support does not usually cease when a parent becomes disabled. However, it’s much harder to collect support and payments normally become sporadic. Below are some things to be aware of.

SSI disability payments are made to people who have a very low income. These payments cannot be garnished for child support.

SSDI CAN be garnished to fulfill child support obligations.

Disabled parents can seek a modification of child support. The court will evaluate the nature of the disability and determine support. Always check with your state for laws in your area.
